4 SUIT TO EsTABLIsH THE VALIDITY OF THE LAW
GIVING PREFERENCE TO SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
The ex-union soldiers In the Interior Department
are indignant at the published statement that
some associations OF veterans have adopted reso-
buttons denouncing Secretary Lamar on account
OF his treatment Of old soldiers. They say that
such an expression II made, does not represent the
Grand Army men. Capt. Filler, who is q one.
armed Union soldier and is in charge OF the watch
force Of the Interior Department, said to-day to
STAR reporter, "The old soldiers In this Depart
ment have reason to complain of Secretary
Lamar. In fact they have reason to be
gateful to him. because he has looked out for their
interests and Kept them In their places In add
ton he has made number OF appointments Of
old Union soldiers. As far as the Old soldiers In
this Department are concerned, am sure that
they would do nothing In opposition to Secretary

The veterans Rights Union, acting under the ad-
vice OF the members OF the Civil service Commits.

selected Is that OF an Indiana soldier named Marcy,
